Water Mill Demonstration at Otterton Mill

[@Szederp]

Something magical about these mills. The woodwork, the engineering, the tradition. It is a pleasure to watch this.

[@51Saffron]

Thanks for sharing. I am teaching our kids about the Industrial Revolution and about watermills before steam engines. A great place to visit.

[@spaulsmith127]

Cheers for sharing. It was smashing to watch the process and be able to show me own lad how it works.

[@Robinson4643]

[@meelty6692]

"Nothing is added, nothing is taken away" Yeah, right. The miller always takes a cut.

[@thomassimpson9249]

Mmmmm, looks delish.❤❤

[@riemhostal7536]

This is satisfying as shit!! Love it!

[@WessCNY]

@hallo1521 Oh, thank you for the information. I certainly plan on visiting the mill when I travel to the UK in a few months.

[@SEGAClownboss]

Thank you, this has been very informative! And I'll bet those loaves of bread are tasty.

快將消失的傳統味道，非常好

[@Karlosman15]

our ancestors never stop surprising me ... nice!

[@bashkillszombies]

It surprises me just how long mill technology has been around. In the ancient Roman era there were turners, and what today we call lathes. Meanwhile 90% of the world was still hitting things with rocks.

[@bashkillszombies]

Thanks for not showing the grinding wheel. .___.

[@anthonylynch1]

Very relaxing..........nicely filmed

[@tigerlyon3651]

I really like the video!

[@WessCNY]

How often do the stones need to be changed?

[@Asteroid_Jam]

WessCNY this is a loo late but I don’t think they change them unless the stone splits in half as a stone does not get dull.

[@CuriousEarthMan]

@@Asteroid_Jam kzbin.info/www/bejne/paXLhqx8actmjdk I hope that link adds to your knowledge :)

[@CuriousEarthMan]

it depends on how much grinding they do, what kind of stone was used, and what they are grinding. A video on George Washington's grist mill says about once a month in that case, but not replaced, the stones get 'dressed' with a chisel to restore the grinding face and sharpen the surface. I think generally not as often as once a month, but I am just speculating. Here's the Mt. Vernon video with the stone dresser: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paXLhqx8actmjdk Oh, I see you posted 9 years ago. Not sure if my answer will reach you lol

WOW HOW NOBLE IS THIS COMPANY, YOU OBEYED WHAT GOD SAID, IF YOU REALLY LOVE ME, LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORS AS THY SELF, AND THIS IS IT, GOD WILL BLESS YOU A MILLION FOLD SIR

[@turuanu]

How do you keep something like that free of bugs? Does it work 24 hours a day?

[@liamg1995]

I feel like a couple grams of bugs ground in with several tons of flour is probably pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things :P

[@Asteroid_Jam]

Bugs are also full of protein so it will not harm you if a little is in your flour.

[@mcpandawaffle]

wonder what happens if theres a drought? actully i dont we all no what happns :l

[@tupensworth7629]

If there was a drought there would be no wheat to grind. A lot of mills had a large mill pond upstream which stored water for when it was needed
